113. No. You were booted for...

Here, I'll just correct your inaccurate interpretation of this:

You were booted for a history ...no strike that...a LONG HISTORY of uncivil behavior, insulting anyone who doesn't agree with you on the gun issue, making filthy insinuations, attributing words and/or actions and/or beliefs and/or positions to people who disagree with you on the issue.

Your little statement about gun owners and the kkk which you refer to, was simply the last straw.

GC&RKBA also has an SOP, which says:

"Discuss gun politics, gun control laws, the Second Amendment, the use of firearms for self-defense, and the use of firearms to commit crime and violence."

What you were doing almost exclusively, around the time you got blocked and for quite some time before that, was not "discussing" anything.

Theres a word for that.

If that sort of behavior is something you'd like to wear as a badge of distinction, that's on you.

Exactly. Hoyt Jul 2013 #39

Can you prove he was in fear for his life? rl6214 Jul 2013 #74

I believe the one being stalked by a gun-toting vigilante was the one in fear for his life Skittles Jul 2013 #93
